Regarding Mad River Kingfisher Linda says, "This bird is
one of my favorites - small with a BIG personality!" These birds
are a common sight along the rivers, lakes and lagoons of Northern
California. They often find a favorite perch over water to watch
for fish and upon sighting one they plunge head first into the
water. This kingfisher is resting on a red alder overlooking the
Mad River.
Linda Parkinson's beautiful watercolor and acrylic paintings
have shown and won awards throughout California. Her artwork is
in collections nationwide.
Linda's detailed paintings of local and exotic wildlife clearly
show Linda's passion and knowledge of her subjects. She has been
painting animals and portraits since childhood. Linda is an honors
graduate in animal sciences from the University of Maryland and
through her post-graduate studies in wildlife at Humboldt State
University became inspired to specialize in wildlife art. Since
then her watercolor paintings of birds and wildlife have gained
attention worldwide and are included in wildlife art websites
and magazines. Linda's work is frequently accepted by juried
shows and her work can be seen in Humboldt County galleries
such as Humboldt Artworks in Arcata and ShoreLines in Eureka.
